🔍 Key Concepts

• U.S. Lateral Aids to Navigation System (IALA-B in the U.S.) • Meaning of red vs. green buoys when returning from seaward • How shape (nun/can) and numbers (odd/even) relate to which side to pass a buoy

💭 Think About

• When you are ENTERING from seaward, which color/side do you keep on your starboard side? What simple memory phrase helps you remember this? • If one side is kept to starboard, what does that tell you about the numbering (odd or even) and shape of buoys on that side? • Once you know the starboard-side buoys, think about what remains for the port side: what numbers and shapes are used there?

✅ Before You Answer

• Recall the memory aid "red, right, returning" and decide which side that applies to • Match odd vs. even numbers to the correct side of the channel • Match nun vs. can shapes to the correct side when entering from seaward
